Instead of compiling a best of 2011 list that focuses on my thoughts about the year's best releases I decided to focus on the area that I live in, Fredericksburg, Va. Fredericksburg is a hotbed for talent and I believe that a lot of artists on this list will have a productive future (Shout out to Spizzy, Romelis, Terra, Kid Styles, Wrighteous, Amore Jones, Legacy, Juxtapose and more; the future is yours, reach out and grab it!).
